Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this end-lot detached sits beside the ravine with no neighbour to the west. The west side and backyard are wrapped in treeline and conservation, creating a true sense of retreat, where your daily view is greenery, birdsong, and sunset light filtering through the canopy. Curb appeal begins with an interlocking walkway framed by two interlocking flower beds. Out back, the lifestyle is the headline: step onto a generous deck with a pergola set against the forest edge. Entertain with a gas BBQ connection, gather around the gas fire pit, then unwind in the Arctic Hot Tub Swim Spa, all while the ravine and treeline deliver privacy you can feel. Thoughtful native plantings and trees invite monarchs and songbirds, while an outdoor pot light system extends the atmosphere into the evening. Inside, the main level offers a formal dining room with hardwood floors, a vaulted ceiling, pot lights, and a large window overlooking the trees. The open-concept kitchen features a wrap-around counter, tile backsplash, ceramic flooring, and a bright breakfast area with a walkout to the deck (glass door with shutters) plus a west-facing window to the ravine. The living room is warm and light-filled with a gas fireplace, hardwood, and large windows on two sides. Upstairs, an open study/loft with hardwood provides flexible work-from-home or lounge space. Bedrooms are generously sized with excellent closet storage. The primary suite impresses with a spa-like ensuite (soaker tub, glass shower, double vanity, separate toilet) and a custom built-in closet system. Second-floor laundry for added convenience. Finished basement includes two rooms and a 3-piece bath; currently used as a guitar/wood workshop. Equipment may stay or be removed. Minutes to Seaton Centre shops, banks, cafés, dining, trails/green space, and Pickering Golf Club.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $667/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 113 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Pickering. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Pickering are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Pickering.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Pickering properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $4,166 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
